IT SEEMS that General Malone has learned
nothing by defeat, and that with all the re-
cent experience of routed bossism before
him. he still pursues his old course. The
executive committee of his party is COM
posed of three himself Mr.. Brady and Mr..
Elan. Mr.. Elan resigned some time ago,and
as the General now has no use for Mr.. Bra
DIV, he constitutes the whole of the commit
mittee, and as such convened the State COM
mittee last Saturday, not even informing
Mr.. Brady of that fact. The Generals
word is law and gospel to large majority
of the State committee. But the Blaine re-
pubhcaus in the State will not let the Gen
eral advance Senator Sherman, at the ex'

PHOTOGRAPHIC THE HEAyEEs.-A dis
patch from Paris to the New York World
says: "Tbe great international congress OF
astronomers, which is being held here, prom
ises great results in the direction Of perfect
ing chart of the heavens, which is to be
minute and exact TO degree beyond any.
thing yet accomplished by science. This
congress has been brought about through
the personal efforts Of the director OF the
Paris Observatory, Admiral Mouchez. He
has been making series Of very wonderful
experiments, with the aid Of Mes5rs. Henry
Brothers, in photographing the heavens.
They have constructed very powerful pho.
tographic instrument, and by the use Of par
ticuary sensitive plates have succeeded in
photographing accurately and recording for
observation certain stars not visible TO the
naked eye These Photographic repro
auctions of the heavens will en-
able astronomers to give all the
time which they may need TO the &C
curate study of the relations of the astronomical
bodies to one another and will certainly result
in greater accuracy of astronomical calculations.
By prolongng the exposure of the plates III this
wonderful instrument for ono hour and half,
photographs of stars of the sixteenth degree,
which are visible only through the most powerful
glasses, are recorded Not only are these ordina-
ry hidden stars revealed, but through this rove
lation astronomers will be able to determine ex-
actly their paralaxes ami to measure absolutely
their respective distances from each other. The
additions which will be made to the chart OF the
heavens under this new process are very great.
Thus, for instance there is one of the regular
charts representing the present state of Asronom-
zeal science, where there are only 10 stars re-
corded the photographs of Messrs. Henry Broth
ers reveal more than five thousand. This devcl-
opment in the direction OF photographing the
heavens is regarded by scientific men ONT of
the most important discoveries in the direction of
exact science made during the present century,

WE'LL, we have one sympathetic
friend and no mistakel Here is little
article by our Sister Billings, of Texas,
on the editors trials and vex atoms,
which makes us believe that our sister
has been an editor herself sometime. It is
true, as remarked, that there are many
perplexities in editorial life; many little
and some great vexations, but the phil
osophy engendered by experience is gen.
orally sufficient to float all these consid-
erations, and enables the editor to find
the soul of goodness in things evil, and
to make the most of life amid the daily
treadmill of work and duty. Personally
we have no charges to file against our
contributors. They are OF the sensible
sort, and do not go off into conniption fits
on small provocation. II an article is
not adapted to our columns, we return it
with renewed assurances Of continued re-
gard, etc. It an article has to be "cut'

space it will occupy. This is the editors
work and he attends to it as a matter of
course. The editorial chair would be
royal seat of ease in Zion if everything
came ready for the compositor. We do
not expect such consideration at the

Mr.. BARNUM's proposition to raise
100000 for missionary purposes is
most admirable, coming from one OF
our wealthy laymen, who sees the need
and is able to push this enterprise in
influential quarters. Heretofore such
calls have usually come from the clergy.
We are growing in the right direction
when our laymen begin to agitate the
financial question. Mr.. Barnum is
alive to the situation, and we hope his
example will inspire others in the same
direction. This is case where we
feel inclined to wait for the sounding
slogan Of our laymen. Who speaks
next after Mr.. Barnum
